One of Swype keyboard's most glaring omissions, especially apparent to those of us with Android 2.1/2.2 is the missing voice input button.

The voice input button, present on the stock keyboard when typing in any text field, lets you utilize Android's speech-to-text capabilities and works surprisingly well. I sure missed it when I installed Swype.

The good news is: Swype has been listening, and the voice input button is coming soon.

They have already added it to the Swype that comes pre-loaded with the Galaxy S, as evident from the screenshot below (screenshot credit: engadget) and Droid X (screenshot credit: swype.com), so the public version is not too far off.

Also thought I would mention SlideIT, which is a replacement keyboard similar to Swype and is available already for Windows Mobile Symbian and Android as a free trial and a paid app.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRkRaoIw8Io

Just got the 2.2 update for my droid and it's really nice the only problem I have is my swype keyboard doesn't work. Is there a way I can get it back?
